Ivy Getty’s cool tip for Cannes crowd

ONCE a parade of chic glamour, this year’s Cannes Film Festival has seen a bewildering array of flesh-flashing outfits.

Heiress Ivy Getty insists they’re not just a transparent call for attention, but an attempt to keep cool in the French Riviera.

The great-granddaughter of Jean Paul Getty, the oil tycoon who was once the world’s richest man, wore a revealing polka-dot dress to the amfAR gala at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc.

‘I’m baring all when in Cannes because it’s very hot outside,’ Getty (top) tells me. ‘I’m wearing custom August Getty Atelier — my cousin’s design. I feel very confident in this design.’

She adds: ‘I try not to get too nervous beforehand and concentrate on having fun. If you don’t feel confident in what you’re wearing, then you won’t feel confident for the rest of the night.’
